"Yes, Clarissa thinks, it's time for the day to be over. We throw our parties; we abandon our families to live alone in Canada; we struggle to write books that do not change the world, despite our gifts and unstinting efforts, our most extravagant hopes. We live our lives, do whatever we do, and then we sleep--it's as simple and ordinary as that. A few jump out of windows or drown themselves or take pills; more die by accident; and most of us, the vast majority, are slowly devoured by some disease or, if we're very fortunate, by time itself. There's just this for consolation: an hour here or there when our lives seem, against all odds and expectations, to burst open and give us everything we've ever imagined, though everyone but children (and perhaps even they) knows these hours will inevitably be followed by others, far darker and more difficult. Still, we cherish the city, the morning; we hope, more than anything, for more.

Heaven only knows why we love it so."
~ The Hours by Michael Cunningham

Scott Ferrell on my brother's view of Bandcamp:

Quote:

People having that attitude is the reason why there is so little good music coming out now. No one is going to want to dedicate their lives to making great music for free. Everything we get from bandcamp helps. We use it to buy equipment and even pay bills. Downloading illegally just makes artists want to throw in the towel

Beautifully and passionately said! :') And to top this baby off? I got an email from Kristy from the band The Azoic:

Hi Crystal,

I just wanted to say thank you for recently purchasing several tracks from The Azoic on Bandcamp. It means a lot to me that people appreciate the music.

All the best!

Regards,
Kristy

3333333333333333333333 I knew it! =^.^= I fucking KNEW IT! I fucking knew I was directly supporting the artists! I just needed proof. And here it is! From both of them. I knew Bandcamp was legit! It's not wasted money after all. I'm just going to forget what my brother said and not feel one ounce of guilt about buying stuff on Bandcamp! :')
